Chapter 239: Exiled Jiangnan gentry to plant potatoes outside the Guan


"The imperial court has repeatedly ordered that no associations be formed privately, and these people really take the imperial court ban as a deaf ear!""

But since you dare to form an association without permission, and dare to ignore the court so much, why do you take the initiative to confess for the riots now?

Sure enough, it was the courage to break with me completely!

I am not afraid of chaos in the world, and I don't know why you Jiangnan gentry are so afraid, these rentiers really have the attribute of cowardice!

In that case, don't blame me for being tougher on you!

”Zhu Youxiao couldn't help but scold a few words when he got Zhang Tongchang's recital.Therefore, then, Zhu Youxiao instructed Congzhe in the political affairs hall: "I plan to give Zhang Tongchang, Sun Chengzong, and Yang Huan, and tell them: Although the Manchu Dynasty has surrendered, it is difficult to guarantee that there is no suspicion of being forced to confess, and this riot is not something that they Jiangnan gentry can end if they want to, and in order to better rule Jiangnan in the future, we must take this opportunity to eradicate some Jiangnan gentry!"

And let them strictly investigate the private association in Jiangnan again, once it is found out, the founder of the society will be directly beheaded, and all those who join the society will be exiled!

In addition, for the matter of association, the first thing they should do is to immediately dismantle and burn the Donglin Academy, and all the land it occupies will be converted into farmland, including its teaching field, and it will be classified as Huangzhuang and divided among the people!

My previous decree may not have a sense of deterrence for those of them who don't take the imperial decree seriously, so this time I will let them know my determination by demolishing and burning down Donglin Academy!

”After Zhu Youxiao finished speaking, he sat back on the dragon chair with a golden sword, not angry and arrogant.As the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, at this moment, he really didn't look down on the Jiangnan gentry in his heart, so he directly issued an order to demolish Donglin Academy.Because Zhu Youxiao now has to admit that after the Jiangnan gentry were suppressed, few dared to oppose it directly.Of course, Zhu Youxiao knew that if he continued to be tough like this, if the Jiangnan gentry were still unwilling to give up their interests, they were afraid that there was really only one way to rebel directly.However, Zhu Youxiao was extremely tough as soon as he ascended the throne, and he was still not worried that among these Jiangnan gentry, there were really people who dared to rebel directly.Because Zhu Youxiao believes that even if these people rebel, they will not succeed, after all, history has proven that these people are better at fighting and bullying the people, but if they really want to play with their lives, they really can't do it, and even stupid tricks come out one after another, and their IQ seems to have dropped directly by several levels, such as Lianjin to destroy Liao, Lianyuan to destroy Jin, and Lianyu Pingkou.It's just that Zhu Youxiao is more curious about the fact that when the Manchu Qing Dynasty ruled China in history, these Jiangnan gentry who dared to rebel directly played the banner of opposing the Qing Dynasty and restoring the Ming Dynasty, and if these people opposed themselves as the emperor, what banner would they play to oppose the restoration of the Ming Dynasty?

”"Yes!"

Fang Congzhe accepted the order, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, and said secretly: "The problem of these Jiangnan literati who love to form associations has completely angered Your Majesty, and the Donglin Academy, which often interferes in the government of the temple and even makes the members of the court and the central government have to be controlled by it, is finally going to be completely purged!"

It's just that Gu Xiancheng, the villain who caused chaos in the dynasty, is already old, otherwise I don't know what kind of mood he would have. ”"I remember that Donglin Academy was built under the auspices of Gu Xiancheng and others, and then preached the will to dissect Gu Xiancheng's coffin and kill his body, and break his bones and scatter ashes!"

Zhu Youxiao suddenly said at this time.Fang Congzhe glanced at Zhu Youxiao in amazement, and hurriedly replied: "The minister obeys the order!"

”And then, Zhu Youxiao thought that the Jiangnan gentry who had been arrested were close to 10,000 people, and they should be dealt with immediately, and they couldn't be locked in prison all the time, otherwise they would only waste money and food in vain.Therefore, Zhu Youxiao once again passed the decree: "In addition, send another edict to Zhang Tongchang, Sun Chengzong, and Yang Huan, so that they can distinguish the main and accessory criminals who are about to be detained by the Jiangnan gentry who are suspected of mastering the riot, and the main culprit will be directly involved in the execution, and the accomplices, regardless of their severity, will be exiled to Liaodong with their relatives and family slaves to grow potatoes and cotton. ”Zhu Youxiao exiled these Jiangnan gentry, who were considered wealthy households in Jiangnan, to Liaodong outside the Guan, which could be regarded as a disguised immigration to increase the number of Han people outside the Guan.......

"I don't want to grow potatoes!"

I don't want to plant!

That's not the job of a noble man like me!

”At this time, in Liaodong, in the newly reclaimed wasteland, Zhu Zhonglin, the commander of Jinyiwei, the son of Zhu Chunchen, the Duke of Chengguo, who had been exiled here, shouted because of the potato planting, and threw the potato pieces allocated to him on the ground.Duan Huangyi, the national abbot who was in charge of their potato planting, rushed over angrily when he saw this, snatched the whip of an overseer and whipped it on Zhu Zhonglin's body: "Pick it up for Lao Tzu!"

This is edible food, who let you throw it on the ground?!

Do you still think that you are the son of the Gongfu of the country, exiled here, you have to obey the control, plant honestly, don't throw too many potato pieces in each pit, don't be careless, otherwise, see if Lao Tzu doesn't kill you!

”"AhhIt hurts, it hurts!

”Zhu Zhonglin screamed miserably, and shouted a few times, so he had to squat on the ground and pick up the potato pieces he had just thrown, and then the tears fell to the ground one by one, crying: "I want to go back to the capital!"

I want to go back to the capital!

I'm going back to my Mansion!

”Seeing this, the other exiles were much more honest and obediently began to dig holes and throw potatoes, only to cry secretly at night when they went back to the hut to rest.However, although Duan Huangyi, who has become the ruler of the Ming Dynasty, but still has the idea of an ordinary banker, is very puzzled by this, and will always say when he sees these exiled magnates crying: "What is there to cry!"

It's just to let you plant a potato, and it doesn't take your life, and it doesn't make you hungry, one by one is really used to being a master!

Lao Tzu is now a big official, isn't he also farming well!

”......

"No, we don't go to Liaodong, we can't go to Liaodong!"

”"Please, please, don't let us go to the bitter cold land of Liaodong!""

I'm going to stay in Jiangnan!

If you let me go to Liaodong, you might as well kill me directly!

”…… And when Zhang Tongchang here, according to his will, wanted to exile most of the Jiangnan gentry who were suspected of rioting and were sentenced to be accomplices, and after reading the will to these people, these people also refused or pleaded or even roared excitedly.It was also difficult for these Jiangnan gentry to accept the arrangement to go to Liaodong to grow potatoes.But in Zhu Youxiao's view, this is what he, the emperor, needs to do the most now.Without the relocation of a large number of Han people, especially those with a certain level of Han cultural knowledge, to settle outside the Guanxi in the form of exile, it will not be possible to establish the long-term effective rule of the Central Plains Dynasty over these places.Because the Academy of Agricultural Sciences of Daming has now cultivated potatoes, a highly cold-tolerant and high-yield crop, it has the basic conditions to allow more Han people to go further north to take root.Therefore, Zhu Youxiao must hurry up to let there be more Han people outside the Guan.…… The Manchu Dynasty also roared at Yang Huan now because he knew that the imperial court was going to exile most of the Jiangnan gentry to Liaodong to grow potatoes: "Why, why are you so vicious!"

actually came up with the ruthless trick of exiled so many people to go to Liaodong to farm!

In that case, why not, kill them all!

Why do you humiliate the gentry so much, and let them go to the bitter cold land to farm like grass mustard pariahs!
